PSG signed plenty of stars in the summer transfer window, but one new signing who has not quite been at his best has been Dutch international Georginio Wijnaldum. The former Liverpool star has struggled to establish himself in the PSG line-up.

Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solekol has now reported that PSG are willing to listen to offers for a loan move in January, with Arsenal being a surprise option for Wijnaldum.

Wijnaldum played a crucial role for Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp and has plenty of Premier League experience. Arsenal's midfield could definitely benefit from the addition of the 31-year-old PSG star.

Capable of playing as a 'number 6' or a 'number 8', Wijnaldum has also been linked with a move to Newcastle United in the last few days. The PSG midfielder played for Newcastle in the 2015/16 season before making the move to Liverpool.

Arsenal, themselves, are no strangers to making loan moves for high profile midfielders. In previous seasons, they have signed the likes of Dani Ceballos and Martin Odegaard on loan from Real Madrid.

Wijnaldum's potential arrival from PSG in January could give them the right boost required to make a push into the top 4. Arsenal have looked shaky in midfield with Partey, Lokonga, Elneny and Xhaka all having moments of uncertainty this season. An experienced player like Wijnaldum would definitely add solidity and consistency to Arsenal's midfield.

The Dutch international has struggled for regular playing time at PSG this season and is said to be keen on a move back to the Premier League. In 17 Ligue 1 games so far, Wijnaldum has only started 7 games for PSG and has not had a telling impact on their style and flow of play.

With 2022 being a World Cup year, the 31-year-old midfielder could be heading back to the Premier League in search of regular playing time in the January transfer window.
